Dems question Gibson's stance on abortion

The state Democratic Committee are citing YouTube videos and Chris Gibson’s website to show what they say is the candidate’s “unprincipled stance” on abortion. The National Right to Live PAC is sending out mailers supporting Gibson, and Joe DioGuardi.

In the first video, a woman holding photographs of fetuses is shown approaching Gibson. She asks him if he’s pro-life or pro-choice and he appears to say he opposed government funding for abortions, but isn’t opposed to first trimester abortions. In another video, he appears to ignore someone chasing him with a video camera and asking him to state his position. Abortion is not listed in the issues section of Gibson’s website.

A statement from the state Democrats also attacks Gibson’s connection John Faso, “a rabidly anti-choice politician.”
